- a pro is consistent while an amateur does things by emotions
- resistance takes advantage of an amateur's passion and drive in the beginning because resistence wants ameatur to burn out.
- a pro goes to work matter what. Think of your day job: you gain skills/experience and show up no matter how you're feeling. Treat your interests the same way to become a master.
- bad day? you still put in the work (daily). do the same for your interests.
- be careful of what you tell your friends-- they are insecure about their own abilities.
- go towards fear. Fear is good. it's challenge presenting as opportunity. felling afraid is normal-- how will you grow outside your comfort zone.
- the first draft is always shit. startup costs take a while but once you get into the momentum of things, life is good -- you will be ok! 💛
- don't reason with procrastination (you can do it all with struggles) but realize that mental breaks are ok!
- the amateur is too connected with their "work" that they are paralyzed in fear of failure because they only think it. do you overidentify with your (a)vocation? those who don't start or are finished are overly invested in succeeding and over terrified of failure that the amateur become paralyzed "the amateur takes it too seriously that they become paralyzed"
- once you have an idea of who you want to become, awareness of failure grips you and now none of your work can fail = you have a defeating thought, you lose.
- do your best works for yourself, not for a wide audience. Your muse is Your Authenticity--Gods will be in your favor. Universe will conspire.
